Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The layers of the Earth touching is an example of ____
A
thermal energy
B
radiation
C
convection
D
conduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A common example of conduction is the process of heating a pan on a stove. The heat from the burner transfers directly to the surface of the pan. Temperature is a measure of the amount of kinetic energy processed by the particles in a sample of matter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heat moves in three ways, conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat moves when things are at different temperatures, always moving from hotter to colder things. If you touch something hot, you can feel the heat moving into your body. This is called conduction, and it happens whenever hot things touch cooler ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A lizard warming its belly on a hot rock. Touching a hot seatbelt when you get into a car. A blacksmith heating up a sword in hot coals, and the heat transferring up through the metal. The heat from a stovetop transferring into a metal pot of water. 12-Aug-2021
